Judging a book by its cover: Part I

3 Jan 2010
Wandering the streets of Aqaba looking for the old castle, we're approached by three Arab men. Beards, head-scarves, etc. We prepare to fend them off with a "No, I don't need a guide" but before I can wave them away one of them asks, "Pardon me, but can you tell us the way to the beach?" ... Turns out they were from Germany!
